‘Each individual child is a treasure chest, full of potential.The right teacher is needed to unlock them.’

I am a Year 5 Teacher at Wakaaranga School in Auckland, New Zealand.

I am passionate about collaboration and engagement in my classroom so this year I am working with another teacher at my school in using Google Apps for Education.

I also believe in the importance of...
Being a positive, fun and enthusiastic role model.
Ensuring children are crew, not passengers.
Motivating and inspiring children to promote a love of learning.
Creating a positive learning environment where children feel they belong.
Building children’s self confidence by making children aware of why they are special.
Encouraging children to be creative.
Being a life long learner myself
Learning from those younger than me – especially the kids!
